Machine Devices and Components - Illustrated Sourcebook

Preservation of information, especially technical data, is essential for continued progress of any discipline of technology. Without the knowledge of basic elements, engineers, designers, craftsmen, and technicians are handicapped. In some cases, they would literally have to "reinvent the wheel"; thus wasting valuable time, resources and energy that could and should be spent on developing new designs. We are told by respected archaeological experts that the pyramids of ancient Egypt and prehistoric South America were built without the use of pulleys and gears; both indispensable mechanical components since early Greek and Roman times. However, these magnificent structures were constructed, but apparently no recorded information exists describing their construction methods or erection tools they employed. Perhaps some unknown component, device, or mechanism was used by those ancient builders that remains unknown even to this day.
